1、BFT(阅读)模拟试卷 16及答案与解析 一、 Part 1 0 Read the following passages, eight sentences have been removed from the article. For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(AH)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. Theres a story in Texas about the rancher who complained when a well driller found oil instead of t
2、he water he had been sent to look for. “Cattle cant drink that stuff!“ the rancher cried. That story is no longer funny. We are short of both oil and water, but the water shortage is worse.【 R1】 _And we are using water a great deal faster than it is being replaced. The replacement rate is dependent
3、on rainfall(sometimes in the form of snow)to resupply rivers, lakes, and ground water.【 R2】 _Worse, droughts are occurring more frequently and are increasing in severity, not only in the United States but also abroad. Even without droughts, rainfall is insufficient to maintain a balance.【 R3】 _So mu
4、ch water has been taken from the Colorado River by Arizona and California that Mexico has complained that those states have exceeded the U.S. share under a 1944 treaty on water-sharing. Southern Californians also have elaborated arrangements to transport water from the Pacific North west, which has
5、it in abundance, to their area, which doesnt have nearly enough to support its population. 【 R4】 _ Short of a fanciful solution, the U.S. has two broad options, neither pleasant. We can conserve or we can produce. The former is inconvenient or worse: less irrigation(and thus less food), fewer swimmi
6、ng pools golf courses, and green lawns.【 R5】 _In the quantities necessary, this would probably require nuclear power. It is technically feasible, but expensive, and was considered 30 years ago as a joint U.S.-Mexican project in the Gulf of California to alleviate the Colorado river problem. As more
7、of it is done, the cost could be expected to come down; and as we became more desperate for water, we would be more willing to pay the cost even if it didnt come down.【 R6】 _This is an arrangement whereby large landowners would sell the groundwater under their land, for whatever the market would bea
8、r, to cities that might be hundreds of miles distant. This would involve the considerable cost of pipeline construction and would mean faster depletion of groundwater reserves. 【 R7】 _ Its a good bet that during the 21st century some new arrangements are going to have to be made about the nations an
9、d the worlds water supplies. These are likely to be neither cheap nor easy. They are more likely to be cheaper and easier if we have thought about them in advance.【 R8】 _We have been sued to choices of guns or butter. This one might be water or meat. A. A century ago, a drought affected only farmers
10、 and perhaps inland navigation; now it affects everybody. B. The Northwest is showing signs of getting tired of this drain. C. It is not too soon to begin. D. We cannot live without oil in the style to which we have become accustomed, but we cannot live at all without water. E. Rivers are running dr
11、y, especially in the West. F. It would also mean less food production. G. A solution currently being advanced in west Texas is a concept called “Water Ranching“. H. The latter is expensive: desalinization of seawater. 1 【 R1】 2 【 R2】 3 【 R3】 4 【 R4】 5 【 R5】 6 【 R6】 7 【 R7】 8 【 R8】 二、 Part 2 8 Read t
12、he following passage and answer questions 9-18. 1. From Dr. R.S. Scorer of Britains Imperial College of the Science comes the latest theory about the lighting flashes. Dr. Scorer believes the cause is hail failing through super cooled clouds. Ice particles bouncing off the falling hail acquire a pos
13、itive charge and rise to the top of the cloud while the hail carries a negative charge to the bottom of the cloud. 2. According to Dr. Scorer, Benjamin Franklin first proved thunderclouds are charged with electricity. Later investigations showed that the tops of the clouds have a great positive char
14、ge and the bottoms have great negative charge. 3. When the charges became great enough to break the insulating properties of the air, lighting flashes carry the electricity within the cloud, or from cloud to cloud, or from cloud to earth. But the question remained: How do the charges develop within
15、the cloud. 4. To seek the cause, Dr. Scorer and his colleagues at the college first duplicated thundercloud current in a liquid tank. They found the mixture takes place only in the tops of the clouds. 5. Next a study of thunderclouds over the North Atlantic showed that the lighting occurs only when
16、the temperature around cloud is below freezing. Particles at the top of the clouds begin to freeze but those in the remainder of the cloud stay unfrozen although below freezing temperature. In the laboratory, S.E. Reynolds whirled a refrigerated rod through ice particles and found that the particles
17、 bounced off the rod acquired a positive charge. This was a missing link. Without hail and super cooled clouds, he concluded, there could be no lighting. Questions 9-13 For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(15), mark one letter(AG)on the
18、 Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. How the lightning flashes come about. B. To measure moisture, scientist did the experiment. C. Two discoveries based on Dr. Scorers theory. D. Significance of Benjamin Franklins discovery. E. Experiments were done to find the cause of lightning. F. Dr.
19、 Scorer found the cause of lightning flashes. G. The continuing study of lightning flashes. 9 Paragraph 1:_ 10 Paragraph 2:_ 11 Paragraph 3:_ 12 Paragraph 4:_ 13 Paragraph 5:_ 13 Using the information in the text, complete each sentence 14-18, with a word or phrase from the list below. For each sent
20、ence(14-18), mark one letter(AG)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. copy B. a positive charge C. a negative charge D. super cooled clouds E. falling hail clouds F. hail and super cooled clouds G. moisture particles 14 According to Dr. Score , lightning is caused by hail falling thr
21、ough _. 15 The refrigerated rod served the same functions as _. 16 Ice particles bouncing off hail falling through a cloud acquire _. 17 In the paragraph four the word “duplicated“ means _. 18 According to S.E. Regnolds, there could be no lightning without _. 三、 Part 3 18 Read the following article
22、from a book and answer questions 19-25. For questions 19-25, choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. Home Is Where the Tongue Is For all the pressures and rewards of regionalization and globalization, local identities remain the most ingrained. Even if the end result of globalization is to make the
23、world smaller, its scope seems to foster the need for more intimate local connections among many individuals. As Bernard Poignant, mayor of the town of Quimper in Brittany, told the Washington Post, “Man is a fragile animal and he needs his close attachments. The more open the world becomes, the mor
24、e ties there will be to ones roots and ones land.“ In most communities, local languages such as Poignants Breton serve a strong symbolic function as a clear mark of “authenticity“. The sum total of a communitys shared historical experience, authenticity reflects a perceived line from a culturally id
